These metal and porcelain vessels are the result of a collaboration between architect and product designer Natascha Madeiski and silversmith and jewellery designer Linnie Mclarty. Inspired by  an archaeological dig in Lebanon, the Now and Then collection comes in four sizes and features a subtle palette of matt colours including an earthy salmon pink, vibrant green and calm grey. Each rounded, lidded container is made from porcelain using a slip-casting method and features a metal accessory (brass spoon, sieve, fork) or handle. The designers consider the objects to be anthropomorphic in nature, like a platoon of soldiers guarding their contents.

The Pita daybed from Peca studio is a spare, but striking-looking, piece of furniture. Made from  turned oak wood, the seat comes with triangular leather cushions that are accented by a hand-embroidered bolster cushion made of maguey fibre yarn from Colotlán, Jalisco, the birthplace of the ancient technique of piteado from which the sofa derives its name.

We love a structured handbag and must confess that were weren't thrilled when the bucket bag became the "it" bag a few seasons ago. The trend was led by Mansur Gavriel, who have switched gears and return with this richly-coloured collection of nine new bags including the ladylike top-handled ones pictured here. 

We've had our eye on the water pitcher by Soma which is available from one of the high-end grocers on the island for a while now, so it is no surprise that we were drawn to the Soma glass water bottle, a fairly new addition to that company's collection.

Made from high quality, shatter-resistant glass with a protective silicone sleeve, the Soma Bottle is perfectly designed to fit into a bag or cup holder. It is lightweight, durable and comes with a  leak-proof bamboo cap that is made from a renewable resource. The best part? For every Soma Bottle purchased, a donation is made to charity to support safe drinking water projects globally. The Soma Bottle comes in white, grey, mint and eggplant. 

Knitwear designer Aisling Camps got the inspiration for her latest collection from the caves on Gasparee Island, Trinidad which are home to natural limestone formations. She incorporated these elements into her designs: stalactites became fringing, while cables took the form of calcified deposits. Nubby, textured merino was juxtaposed with slick monofilament to mimic wet rock or mossy mohair and everything was rendered in earthy colours.

The Bradley Hooper Side Table from Dowel Jones is made of steel rod and spun steel. Designed and manufactured in Australia, the table is part of a series of stools, coffee tables and side tables characterised by their concentric rings and bottle-like shape. The Bradley Hooper side table features a tray top lined with cork and is available in a wide range of finishes.

Art as fashion or fashion as art? That's the question this collection from Russian fashion designer Glagoleva Olya seeks to pose. 

Olya's eco-friendly line Artist At Home tapped Lisa Smirnova, a contemporary artist whose medium is embroidery, to create a line that takes its inspiration from from the workwear of painters. Every item of clothing is unique, decorated as they are with the delicate hachure embroidery that reflects Smirnova’s intricate style and which transforms the garments into distinctive, wearable pieces of art. Olya uses cashmere, organic Indian hemp, cotton and denim as well as vintage towels and blankets in her creations, each of which can take up to 100 hours to create.

Prepare yourself for cuteness overload with these deer and sheep stools by Japanese design company Kamina&C. Made from European oak and American walnut with nylon seat fabric for durability and ease of maintenance, the horns or antlers double as backrest or can be used as hooks.

Simple styles made from outstanding fabrics are the markers of the designs of Sindiso Khumalo, a South African textile designer currently living and working in London. That the Central St Martins graduate studied architecture at the University of Cape Town is evident in the use of linear and geometric patterns in her designs.  Khumalo founded her eponymous label in 2012 with the intention of creating modern, sustainable textiles and she works closely with non-governmental agencies and workshops around South Africa to develop and manufacture the handmade textiles that are used in her collections.

The Gabo G side table by designer Cemal Çobanoğlu creates beautiful three-dimensional, geometric shadows and illusions. Named for the constructivist sculptor Naum Gabo, the table's top is made of tempered glass and rests on iron legs.
